Performance Optimization Through Sports Science & Biomechanics

Dr. Tom Gormely has given me a whole new perspective as to what it looks like to train as a professional. His emphasis on hip-shoulder separation as well as the unique pre/post throwing routines, have added multiple layers to my game. Multiple NFL coaches told me that they noticed more velocity and efficiency in my throws from my senior year film to what they saw at the NFL Combine. Everyone loves being around Dr. Tom and it’s clear that he is in the industry to help his athletes achieve their goals. If I hadn't come to Tom, I would have already topped out... I was very stiff. I felt like a block from college.

Purdy credited much of his NFL success, including his very presence in the league, to Gormely’s work at CORTX Sports Performance. He told Bell, “These guys broke me up, loosened me up and got me throwing like I needed to,” emphasizing how Gormely’s interventions were critical to his development.

I trust Doc [Gormely]...with everything. Whatever they say, I’m going to do it because I know it’s going to help me in the long run. Tom tells me stuff like, ‘You’re over-rotating your pelvis,’ and I’d just nod, take it in, and then go fix it on the next throw. It’s cool how he breaks it down.

Going into the NFL, there's things that I need to work on. I wanted to go to the best people, the best guys. So with something cool like this, seeing the biomechanics and things that you may not be able to see on TV.

There are so many reasons why the hardest position to play in all of sports has such a hit/miss characteristic to it. The QB position demands more individualized, specialized coaching. There isn’t enough of it. The conversation surrounding it needs to level up. People like Tom Gormely are helping do just that.

The word is getting around; ⁦Tom Gormely and his team are translating biomechanics to the field for QBs.

As a professional athlete, I pride myself on the quality of work and attention to detail with my training. I’ve trained with Tom and the Tork family, and I can’t say enough good things about their work ethic and attention to detail with my training programs. His knowledge of the human body, muscles, and development is second to none. This is really expressed through conversations with Tom as you can really see his passion and love for athlete development. I can’t recommend him enough!

After my first full season, I knew I needed to make some strides. Luckily I came across Tom and have trusted him with my life and career ever since. From strength trainer to pitching coach to physical therapist, he’s everything I needed and more. I seriously don’t know what I’d do without him.

Tom’s expertise and knowledge of the science behind health, strength & conditioning, throwing mechanics of athletes, etc are far superior than any PT, ATC or Strength Coach I’ve ever encountered in my amateur or professional career! What makes Tom stand out even more is his ability to be the smartest and most prepared person in the room while relating to his athletes on a personal level and creating an environment where he truly believes in you and your abilities!

Tom is the best trainer I have worked with in my time playing pro sports. The arm care and lifting programs are nuanced, incredibly well researched and tailored to my needs. Beyond the lifting programs, Tom is a first class human being. He is consistently available, a great communicator and kind. He truly has made me a better player and I look forward to working with him until I hang up the cleats.
